Geforce GTX 760 vs Radeon R9 M295X

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 M295X, which has clock speeds of 750 MHz on the GPU, and 1375 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Geforce GTX 760 should in theory be a little bit better than the Radeon R9 M295X in general. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		192256 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M295X		176000 MB/sec
	Difference: 16256 (9%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M295X should be just a bit (about 2%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Geforce GTX 760. (explain)

Radeon R9 M295X		96000 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 760		94080 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 1920 (2%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 760 is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M295X		24000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 7360 (31%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
